Chapter 68
Chapter 68
This is a very special ceremony.
It has always been only the emperor who conferred the concubine's concubine before her death or posthumously. That's easy to handle, an imperial decree, and a queen-style funeral.Now that the emperor is bedridden with illness, he demands that he have everything he should have, which is difficult to deal with.
The empress's wedding was naturally held in the Kunning Palace, and the ceremony was a bit rushed. Although the emperor had prepared many things early in the morning, the congratulatory gifts from various places could not be delivered in time.
The banquet and even the sacrificial ceremony of the grand ceremony were presided over by the prince.
After the big wedding, the emperor did not move out of Kunning Palace, but stayed here with the empress.
The emperor didn't even stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but he seemed to have retired early.
All the affairs of the previous dynasty were handed over to the prince.There have been snow disasters of varying degrees in various places this winter, and the government has resumed government affairs before the annual holiday is over, and it has been more than half a month now
Today is the Great Dynasty, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, next to the throne is the crown prince's throne, Xie Chun sits on the high steps with a calm demeanor.
Strange to say, the disaster is not so serious in the coldest place. It also snows in Liangzhou, but there are four months in a year where there is snow. It is really nothing to encounter this level of snow.
On the contrary, in Jiangnan and other places, many places with a mild climate have had exceptionally heavy snowfall this year.
The courtiers below were discussing a lot. According to the emperor's usual style, disaster relief must be provided, but how to provide relief is a problem. There are indeed too many disaster-stricken places this year.This year your country is peaceful and the people are safe, there must be some surplus in the granary. To put it bluntly, whether it is tax relief or food relief, it is all about money.
After the plan was drawn up, all questions should be thrown to the household department. The servant of the household department looked around, gritted his teeth and stood up to test the prince: "I have a plan, I don't know if it will work."
Of course he meant Xuanhe.
Xuanhe is only very old, and he has only been doing business for four years, and he can achieve this level in four years. In the eyes of many people, Shen Xuanhe is the same as the God of Wealth.
They don't have any money, and this God of Wealth has no shortage. To take a step back, even if you can't get money from him, even if you can reduce the debt, it is good.
But it all depends on Xie Chun's attitude. The emperor has always turned a blind eye to Xuanhe Shanghu's debt collection.On the contrary, if Xuanhe was short of money in his account, he might be able to subsidize his son immediately out of his own pocket.
The emperor's attitude is right there, no one has ever mentioned the matter of debts, now the person in charge has changed, I don't know what the crown prince's attitude is towards King Baojun.
Mr. Shen was in a complicated mood. The emperor asked him to enter the palace. Naturally, he didn't beg him like a step-son, but informed him that his son was going to change his surname to Xie, and now he didn't change it.
In the past, he was always worried that Xuanhe's lack of propriety would annoy the emperor, and he always wanted him to understand the way of emperor and minister, but the emperor really regarded Xuanhe as his son.
After he reacted, how could he have the ability to snatch the emperor's son?
Naturally, I can only be sensible and stay away from him.
On the one hand, there is regret that the success is near failure, and on the other hand, he breathes a sigh of relief.
Although Xuanhe was listed on the imperial jade plate, his name was not removed from the Shen family tree, and he is still the eldest son and grandson of the Shen family. Now he can't become the lord of this country, and his son still has his surname Shen.
But he is still helpless, how many people Xuanhe has offended these years, how many people are waiting to be thrown into trouble now?
While the emperor was still there, some people could not wait to make a move.
Xie Chun was noncommittal, but said: "Why don't you call the king of Baojun to discuss it together."
Everyone couldn't figure out his thoughts, and it was impossible to tell which side he was facing. Could it be that it was because the emperor couldn't do it directly?
Xie Run laughed at their naivety.
Ever since the emperor didn't care about Xie Chun's marriage, he felt a little strange.Even if they are not married, can't they still get engaged?Now that there is a queen, the emperor does not have the voice and energy to manage these things, and there is also a queen.
The noble concubine may not be able to control the crown prince, but the queen is justified.
Xie Chun didn't have the support of his mother's family, didn't he even find a wife for him?If you could say that the emperor didn't care about Lao Qi in the past, and didn't give him a marriage now, what does it mean?
He was puzzled all the time, until the words of Concubine Xuan and Tong Zhou reached his ears that day, and he finally understood it all at once.
It turned out to be the case.
Xie Run smiled wryly, if that was the case, he would not be wronged if he lost.
Of course he didn't think that Lao Qi really liked Xuanhe, it was just a means, and he probably made other guarantees, otherwise the emperor wouldn't see it.
But since he has used such a method, no matter what happens in the future, as long as the emperor is alive, he will never touch Xuanhe, not only won't move, but will also firmly protect and not let others move, and the play must be complete.
"Xuandi performs filial piety on behalf of our brothers in front of the father's bed every day. If he comes, the father should also know."
As soon as Xie Run opened his mouth, Xie Chun changed his words again: "That's according to what the emperor said." Then he asked the ministers: "What else do you think, my lords?"
He seemed to have a very casual attitude, as if he had no position of his own, he would temporarily agree to what others said, and he would not deny any of the people who said a different point of view, and everyone began to speak freely.
Master Hong understood why the emperor chose Xie Chun.
When the prince came to the court for the first time, he didn't know the people in the court, so he just listened and didn't talk. After this debate, if he had the heart, everyone's attitude should be more or less understood.
Sure enough, everyone talked for less than half an hour before hearing the prince's conclusion that there are granaries everywhere, and there are imperial envoys to inspect them every year, and now they are opening granaries for disaster relief.
Report the disaster situation in detail in various places, and postpone the discussion on relief money and taxation.
Everyone also realized that the prince had already had an idea, but he just listened to their quarrel.It is rare for the Great Court to quarrel like this, and today they may not be tempted.
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is nothing more than you advance and I retreat, the monarch takes a step back, and the courtiers take a step forward.
It's like this today, and I don't know who tempted whom.
After the court, Xie Chun went to the harem, and the courtiers wanted to test the attitude of the new emperor, so why didn't he want to test the attitude of the emperor.Now that the queen has been established, his marriage will be brought up again sooner or later.
If the emperor can leave a decree, he will have a lot of problems in the future, if he doesn't... it doesn't matter if he doesn't, it doesn't matter if he comes today or not.
It's just to meet Ah He.
Now the emperor is ignoring the state affairs, and there are three members of the emperor's family living in the Kunning Palace. Although the emperor is not well, the palace is full of joy and harmony all day long, without the slightest haze.
There are fresh flower branches in the vases in the house, which I think Xuanhe went to the garden to cut.The queen stood in front of the window, holding flower scissors, and patiently trimmed the flower branches.
The emperor called out "Xi Niang", and she put down the flower scissors and walked to the bed.
"Is the sun out today?"
"Yes, Bao'er should come again later."
They were talking in one room, and Xuanhe in the other room pushed a chair with wheels and said that he would take the emperor out for a walk, and the flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom.
Both of them were laughing, Xuanhe looked at them without understanding: "What are you laughing at?"
Although he couldn't figure it out, he was also happy when his parents laughed, and he also started to giggle.
Xie Chun was one step late, they had already gone to the garden, he didn't sit and wait, he turned around and went to the garden too.Seeing them from a distance, he stopped and stood under the tree for a while, then turned and left.
Ah He hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, so let's try to make him laugh longer.
Even if Xie Chun didn't come, the emperor knew what the courtiers were thinking. As long as he wanted to, the whole government was still under his control.It's just that the emperor realized that time was running out, so he made a choice and put all his attention on his wife and children.
All they want is to be happy, every day he is not good, they will have this excuse every day, he has always disdained such things, but now that disasters are happening everywhere, the courtiers should not focus on the prince's marriage.
He simply ordered Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day for the sixth child to get married.
This is also reasonable, firstly, the seniority is orderly, the sixth child should be in the front row, secondly, isn't it just for joy?Xie Chun is his son, and so is the sixth son.
Even the emperor himself agreed to this matter, so it can be seen that the situation is really not good.
This seemed to be a signal that there were suddenly a lot more people getting married in the capital, and the seats in the Zhaixing Building were already in high demand, but now they are even more difficult to find.
Naturally, they got married not to make the emperor happy, but because they were afraid that the country's filial piety would delay the wedding, so they simply found a good day and auspicious day to get married in advance. The honorable family might still have some concerns and restrained themselves.
For the common people, who will be the emperor does not have that much influence on them, even if this is the capital, they are at the feet of the emperor.
Once someone starts something like this, others will follow suit.The ridiculous thing is that even if it is necessary to keep filial piety for the emperor, it is only a hundred days.This is still a high-ranking family, even if ordinary people don't keep enough, few people will pursue it.
Xuan He hadn't been out of the palace for a long time, and it was rare for him to go out for a walk today. When he walked to the East Street, the owner of the wonton shop was very happy when he saw him. few.
Turning around, the boss took out the candy and said that his daughter was getting married, and the king of Baojun hadn't arrived for a long time, so the candy was specially prepared for him
Xuan He congratulated with a smile, the smile didn't reach his eyes, he clearly remembered that the boss once said that his daughter's wedding date will be in the second half of this year.
This is, also ahead of schedule?
After leaving the wonton shop, Xuan He weighed the wedding candy in his hands up and down, feeling a little mocking for a moment.
The boss clearly knew his identity and told his daughter to get married early in order not to delay the marriage, but he didn't know how to avoid him.When it comes time to observe filial piety, Shen Xuanhe will be the first one.
Xuan He shook his head, threw the candy to the children on the side of the road, and got a cheer.He has always understood that people's emotions cannot be shared, and he is the only one who is sad.
There were a lot of happy events, and the streets were full of joy. Xuan Heping usually didn't pay much attention to the things in the shop, but today he went to check the accounts by ghosts and ghosts. Sure enough, the price of the table in the Zhaixing Building has increased. Funeral things like white fabrics must be The purchase price has already risen for the things that are prepared, and it seems that they are ready for the whole city.
But now the hottest selling items are all kinds of dowry necessities, and the whole city is busy getting married.
If memory serves me right, Xie Feng is also about to get married.
But Xie Feng went into the palace to look for him in person.
"I postponed my wedding."
He didn't say when it was postponed, only that it was delayed.
Xuan He was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what he meant: "No need."
Marriage is not a matter of one person, and it would be bad for the bride to be unhappy about it.
Xie Feng hugged him suddenly: "Brother is here."
Xuan He couldn't laugh or cry, he wasn't actually that sad, but Xie Feng's actions did make him feel a lot better, so he also raised his hand to hug him back.
But he heard a moody voice behind him: "What are you doing?"
